Has anybody here had experience with naltrexone? I recently started taking it because the cravings were so strong I couldn't take it anymore. My only side effects have been mild muscle and joint pain, slight nausea, and decreased appetite. Also, I tried to drink a beer while on it and it just made me feel sick so I threw it away. I got sober last June and I slipped up a few times since then, but this medicine has helped me a ton. Curious if anybody has had a similar or different experience.

I started it last week myself. I have not had any bad side effects so far. I’m hoping for the decreased appetite but that hasn’t kicked in yet. :(
